Li + O₂ = ... I forget.

Who’s gonna get the big money?

I’ve read more “battery breakthrough” articles than I can count. When I see it available at Costco, I’ll know it’s real.😁

I’ve lost count of the battery breakthroughs over the years. Maybe this one will be the game changer. Time as always will tell.

I remember looking at the oxidation potential chart in high school chemistry class and thinking “lithium would make a good battery”.

[Eccl 10:2]

Wake me up when we have dilithium crystals.

If it doesn’t start a conflagration in your garage, you’re golden!

[Salman]

But does it randomly burst into flames, even a little?

[alancarp]

Two points:

1. The energy density of a Tesla Model 3’s battery pack is reported to be 260 Watt-hrs/Kg, so this “projected” 1200 WH/Kg would be astounding.

2. “If commercialized...”. Well, there’s the key phrase. While they may have solved 3 of the 4 snags with LiIon batteries (energy density, recharge durability, and safety; the others being recharge speed and price), it won’t be a thing unless they can get out of the lab and mass produce this technique.

When will this translate into fewer mysterious garage fires?

[Chauncey Gardiner]

And perhaps 4x more explosive?

[catnipman]

“that could one day ... if realized at scale”

been reading this same phrase at least 100 times since the 1980’s regarding “revolutionary” battery technologies ... not once have i been tempted to invest ...

bump for later

Does it have any Silver in it?

[JZelle]

Will it fit in a Battery Daddy?
